However I AM deleting the old database in code. An earlier version works, and in the newest dll, I put in a few extra input parameters which I guess are somehow causing the problem. Basically now its adding two new columns to the database. The first time around, with a brand new db, all is fine...I guess I'll have to put some messageboxes in the dll to see where its unhappy...

Macro programming reference

Hi,

I looked at the code of some VC++ macros (DSM files). It's pretty simple, but is there a documentation about the various objects (example : ActiveProject) and methods you can use, that are specific to Visual C++ ?

Or do you need Visual Basic to help you with members listing and auto-completion ?

Thanks,
Thibaut

CComboBox question.

ns8-Oct-02 5:24

8-Oct-02 5:24

I've never used one before. I need a link to a simple example that shows how to use it. I need to start with no items in the dropdown, but as the user enters them in the edit portion, they should get added to the dropdown part> then if you so choose, you should be able to click on an entry which should then show up in the editbox part. I need to see how to get this simple functionality. Code on CP seems very advanced, and I'm wondering if theres a simple example of using a combobox

Appreciate your help,
ns

You can try this...

CString s;
m_Combo.GetWindowText(s);
m_Combo.InsertString(0,s);
m_Combo.SetWindowText("");
m_Combo.SetFocus();

You can put something like this on a button (Add) or you can overide the OnKeyPress or Pretranlatemessage to do it whem you press the ENTER

Strange MFC socket problems

User 66588-Oct-02 4:58

Hi,

I'm sending queries to many game servers via UDP in a for-loop. But in the receive function there seems to be a problem:

void CMainFrame::OnReceiveUDP()
{
        SOCKADDR_IN fromAddr;
        int fromSize = sizeof(fromAddr);
	
	TCHAR pkt[PACKETLEN];
	
        int respStringLen = m_sSocket.ReceiveFrom(pkt, PACKETLEN-1, (SOCKADDR*)&fromAddr, &fromSize, 0);
        if(respStringLen == SOCKET_ERROR)
        {
                CString	string;
                string.Format("CUDPSocket::ReceiveFrom() failed\nReason: %i", GetLastError());
                MessageBox(string, "Error", MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
                return;		
        }
        else
        {
                CListView* pView = (CListView*)GetActiveView();
                CListCtrl &list = pView->GetListCtrl();

                list.InsertItem(idx, pkt);
                idx++;
        }
}

But after about 30 servers I only have garbage characters in the variable pkt, although the servers send normal packets. How can this happen?

thanks in advance

for(int i=0; i<servercount; i++)
			{
				CServer server = arServers.GetAt(i);
				if (m_sSocket.SendTo("\\status\\", 8, server.QueryPort, server.IP, 0) != 8) 
				{
					//MessageBox("CUDPSocket::SendTo() failed", "Error", MB_OK|MB_ICONSTOP);
				}
			}

arServers is an CArray of servers
I know this code is crappy, but I don't know how to make it better. Frown | :(

Win32 API : Which #include do I need ?

Jerome Conus8-Oct-02 4:36

Hi !!

I started with VC6 a simple console application. The project is emtpy, I just have an empty main() and and include of stdafx.h.

Now, I'd like to use some functions of the Win32 API (ShellExecuteEx for instance), but I have no idea which headers I have to include. I checked in the msdn but didn't find anything.
When I try to compile, even basic windows types like DWORD are not declared.

Does anyone could tell me where, for each Win32 functions, I can find exactly which lib and which header file I have to add to my project ?

Thanks !
Jerome

If you have VC++6 or a recent-ish Platform SDK, there is a WIN32API.CSV file which tells you exactly this in the LIB directory.

Normally, you would start with <windows.h>, optionally defining stuff like WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to remove stuff. There are lots of other defines you can do to suppress the inclusion/definition of various Win32 subsystems.

Launch VC6, and use the Win32 application classwizard to create a project with all the things that you need. It includes windows.h in stdafx.h

If you look at the MSDN and find the ShellExecuteEx function you will have this on the botom of the page (this is a very usefull piece of information)

Function Information

Stock Implementation shell32.dll version 4.00 or later
Custom Implementation No
Header shellapi.h
Import library shell32.lib
Minimum operating systems Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95

Thank you for your informations !

This is something I never understood with my MSDN. For plenty of function, I get the useful informations you mentionned in your post, but for the ShellExecuteEx, and for some others, I don't get the usual layout of functions description. What I get is a page called 'Internet Tools & Technologies', without these useful informations I was looking for !

Anyway, thanks again for your help !

GetWindowText

ns8-Oct-02 4:05

8-Oct-02 4:05

I have a CString which I pass into:

m_editExerciseName.GetWindowText(m_ExerciseName);

However MSDN says

void GetWindowText( CString& rString ) const;

Its & rString the & that is bothering me> How should I change my GetWindowText statement so that a & goes in?
I declared m_ExerciseName as a plain old CString.

Appreciate your help,

Your code as it shows should compile and run OK. Do a search for "references" on any C++ tutorial to know more about the & character.

void GetWindowText( CString& rString ) const; implies that the function it self will not change any data that belongs to the CWindow class. Your code will work fine.

Combo Box: I want to catch user changes once he/she is finished

I would like to catch user changes on a combo, but only once he is finished typing. How could I do that?

NOTE: CBN_EDITCHANGE don't work. In fact, it is called every time the user types something in the edit, and CBN_SELCHANGED is only called when the user selects an item in the list.

It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say anything in it, because we do not say anything in it, unless it is worth taking a very long time to say, and to listen to.

Try catching the killfocus event of the combobox -- when the cursor leaves the control, you can assume they're done with it.

"If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted, and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it." -- Jeremiah 18:7-10 (God, commenting on the value of the United Nations)

Consider CBN_DROPDOWN event handler.
